IMDB synopsis: Eight years after the Joker's reign of anarchy, the Dark Knight, with the help of the enigmatic Selina, is forced from his imposed exile to save Gotham City, now on the edge of total annihilation, from the brutal guerrilla terrorist Bane. 

Like THE AVENGERS, I’m not sure what’s left to say about this. For many people, Nolan’s Bat-trilogy stand as the current gold-standard of comic-book movies (though there’s certainly a significant minority that find them too dark, and feel they don’t embrace the essence of comics as fully as some other CBMs). Nolan continued his experiment of shooting a significant amount of the movie on IMAX 15/70 film, as he felt that was the best possible way to view a movie theatrically. 

Inevitably compared with its predecessor, THE DARK KNIGHT (a movie which rapidly reached iconic status among most fans), THE DARK KNIGHT RISES fell a bit short of most people’s expectations, but generally speaking it received a warm reception critically. It, of course, was a monster hit domestically and worldwide, though it failed to reach the heights of some 3-D boosted mega-hits like AVENGERS or AVATAR.

Tomato meter: 87%, 8/10

Academy Awards: 0 wins, 0 nominations

Random critic comment: “The grave and satisfying finish to Mr. Nolan's operatic bat-trilogy.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Random RTM comment: “The Dark Knight Rises is often times quite moving and thrilling, just managing to stick the landing, but it doesn’t appear to have done it with ease. … I wanted to see a conclusion that would end the trilogy on a satisfying note, similar to Return of the King or even Return of the Jedi and that held true.” —@MrPink
 

 

 

Tele, you're such a tease.

 

This movie really wasn't that good. It was a mess. Sad

TDKR winning again means Trump's re-election is now locked.  People don't realize their mistakes.

Trump's not getting reelected- he'll have his Emperor in Star Wars "emergency powers" moment long before 2020

To this day I still think this movie is a crock of shit, right down to the Nolan failed choreographed fight scenes.. It was Terrible and only received a free pass because of Nolan's name attached to it..

 

 

 

I know I'll disagree with BKB as soon as he starts talking about Politics or Marvel, but I'll relish in agreeing for this one moment.

TDKR is pretty good tbh, the backlash is just as tedious as the excessive love
